Quote Of The Day II
Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or ‘woke.’ And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.

I Should Spend More Time With WordPress Reader
I have sadly neglected the WordPress reader where I can connect with fellow bloggers. Lately I have been constantly doomscrolling on Threads and BlueSky. Those sites are proving to be a constant stream of bad news. My lack of attention here is something I do regret. Your blogs are important, and I should do better by you this wonderful community of creative authors and thinkers and contemplative writers.
Sunday Reflection – Forgiveness In The World We Live
Today at church, the sermon was about forgiveness and holding grudges. In the world in we live in today where there is much harm, lies, and fear, the notion of forgiving is very hard. But as in many things, mercy is a must.
Yes, there is temptation to villainize, but you know you can see evil done with your own eyes. What is going on right now is disheartening and sad and dangerous for many. I am in a place where I am trying to make sense of everything going on.
However, it will take lots of time, understanding, and grace for me to say it’s alright, don’t worry about it or something like that. I am a believer in God, but I am also human, and I have my feelings, and it’s OK. There is more to come and it will challenge all of us. Forgive when you feel it’s appropriate but try to forgive when you can.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Supporting Canada and Ukraine Because It’s The Human Thing To Do
I am a fan of freedom and truth. Right now, America’s government isn’t doing Canada and Ukraine right. Canada is under threat of unnecessary American tariffs that will do great harm to their people. Ukraine is also at risk of losing land in a peace deal they don’t have a say in at the moment. I will support both countries in their strife and chaos brought about by American aggression. The USA is coming across as a villain right now. Trump fancies himself as a king, and that is the scary part, and no one in his party is standing up to him to say he is wrong. It’s going to be a challenging four years for a lot of people in this country and around the world.
